Why get involved with the Alzheimer Research Foundation?
This gala was initiated by Pierre Souchon after this terrible illness affected his grandmother.
He decided to organize these concerts with a great sense of commitment and a lot of delicacy.
Alzheimer's is a particularly cruel disease because it gives the impression that someone is coming to steal the brains and souls of the people we love.
As an artist, I also have the responsibility to convey messages about what touches people.
For example, in the past I thought it was important to share my experience with breast cancer.
The subject I want to talk about?
Breast cancer, precisely.
With the Internet and social networks, there are a lot of legends around this disease for which I myself was treated four years ago.
It is believed that the exams are dangerous because of the radiation, but the real danger is cancer.
When you take a plane, you are subjected to much more radiation than during these exams.
I therefore encourage women to take prevention screenings.

My news?
I'm writing new songs and I'm going to start touring.
I had to interrupt the previous one because of Covid, and even if I do concerts every month, I missed the dimension of a tour, the sensations it provides.
Who am I ?
Carla Bruni, 56-year-old human being, female.
Very active.
I would also say: songwriter and performer, or “marmot”, because I like to sleep a lot.

My qualities ?
Above all, kindness: it is one of the most interesting paths in life.
I've also always been brave, which doesn't mean I'm not afraid.
My attitude on sale?
On my guard, even if it doesn't show.
I'm a good manipulator.
On the other hand, I am not tongue-in-cheek, because an interview is an exchange.
But I am attentive, because my speech is transposed through the prism of another human being and can be modified.
The question I dread?
None.
After all, we have the right to answer whatever we want.
What is formidable is the confrontation with the image and the media.
But when we agree to be a public figure, we must be prepared for a certain distortion of our image.
I encourage women to take breast cancer prevention screenings.

Seduction mode or warrior mode in an interview?
Warrior, because it's attractive.
To fight is to resist indifference, the passing of time.
Most of all, I love eloquence, words, the ability to express thoughts.
I like to read, to have a speech infused with references that are close to my heart.
The last time I was proud of myself?
It's not my habit... It's anecdotal, but recently, I was proud of having managed to pack my bags well.
A disaster usually.
In an airport, I always look at the impeccable luggage of these people who concentrate the essentials in so little space.
I operate differently: I don't have a practical sense.
Reading a contract or dealing with administrative paperwork, for example, is a small feat for me.
I tend to procrastinate and rely on this quote from Oscar Wilde: “I never put off until tomorrow what I can do the day after.”
